Pollution in Singapore reached “life threatening” levels on Friday, caused by crop fires on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Singapore’s environment minister said on his Facebook page: “We need urgent definitive action by Indonesia to tackle the problem at source. Singaporeans have lost patience, and are understandably angry, distressed and concerned.”

Indonesia’s clean-up operation chief, Agung Laksono, retorted: “Singapore should not be behaving like a child and making all this noise.”
